HFF – Back down the line.

It’s busy down behind the sheds in the workshop yards at Grosmont and the guys working on the NYMR have a lot to do. Pete is using his shunter to bring this big steam-loco crane back down the line so John has to switch those points around by pulling that white lever across. See Pip for more.

12139 is a Class 11 0-6-0 type of diesel-electric shunter, built to an LMS design at English Electric at Preston in 1948, shown here in British Railways black livery. The red Steam Breakdown Crane No 107 was built around 1929 and can lift up to 45 tons. This was in use, in its day, at Doncaster, Yorkshire.

Enjoy full size and have a great week.

Pity about the names, Herb. I thought you had some insider knowledge/ ;-)
I hope this isn't a busy working line. You seem to have taken your life into your hands on the track.
